Electronics / hardware hacking and development. I have a Saleae Logic Pro 8 which is probably the most expensive thing I’ve ever bought in a weight to cost ratio at £933 for 60g.
Works fantastically, though, and the analog function and high sample rate is what truly sets it apart from other analysers.
I don’t have a personal need for a 16 channel analyser currently, so couldn’t bring myself to cough up the extra £500 for that model.
I mean… It’s not wrong
How about you Prime Video subscription?
Yes, we have it
Great! Let’s watch
You have to pay £12.99 for it
What? I already pay you monthly! Why?!
Because fuck you.
I was not prepared for that sound 😂
It’s like horror clown laugh turned up to 12
Damn, that thing got nutsack for days
The problem is that the producer’s business model is based on making and selling copies. You’re not taking an original work, no, but you’re also not paying for the produced content.
Let’s expand the pig analogy.
A farmer has a sow and any piglets that it has are for sale. You steal a piglet. You haven’t stolen the original sow, but you have stolen the piglet you now have because you didn’t pay for it.
It wouldn’t be too much work to hook the request language up to a CMS and then a translation service. You could produce in a couple of popular languages upfront and then when someone with a new language visits a landing page, translate it at high priority (few seconds), then the cascade the next most likely click-throughs in order of popularity (or callout weight if it’s new). The translations can then be queued for review, and it will mean you only translate when you need to, and the user only experiences a second or so delay as the translation streams the content above the fold.
